Pros
Working at SAP provides the employee the chance to learn from very bright colleagues. Often able to work remotely 2 or more days a week
Cons
SAP is a coporate, political jungle where the best and brightest ideas, insights, and even questions are stiffled. IF there's even time to do it, very few meaningful learning opportunities exist beyond e-learning and learning on the job (often under less-than-ideal conditions). The top performers, <10% of the workforce get the most development opportunities in an effort to keep them from leaving the company. Interesting since most people leave within 3 years and they (the 10%) are the ones who need it the least. There's very little trust at SAP and work/Life balance does not exist at SAP. Your workload will almost always be enough work for 2 - 3 people. Because it is a global company, it is common to start your day at 6am (sometimes as early as 3am) with a conference call and end the same day with another meeting at 9pm in order to accommodate colleagues in a different time zone. 3 - 5 year strategic plans change significantly every few months. That means that the work done for projects and/or objectives that were agreed upon at the beginning of the year was all for nothing. There are multiple re-orgs and people change managers (assigned new managers) like they change socks. I had 6 manager changes in 4 years.
